To The Family of Patrolman Ringhauser:
I wanted to offer my sympathies on your tragic death. Patrolman Ringhauser you are missed by your family, friends and colleagues. Your courage and bravery will never be forgotten. My dad Patrolman Owen C. Davis worked for almost 40 years out of the 102 precinct. His tour of duty was from 1928 until 1966. Then he retired and came to Florida with my mom and younger sister. Rest in peace Patrolman Ringhauser you will never be forgotten.
